Top Pro Gif Ad
Chris Blaney [3(1)-0] has secured an Irish fight date and a return to the National Stadium for what will be his fourth fight in just over four months.

The Navan super middleweight has been added to the Red Corner Promotions show at the home of Irish boxing on Saturday November 5th.

Blaney takes the place of the recently-retired Darren Mangan on the bill. The card next month will be headlined by Dublin’s Luke Keeler and who fights for the BUI Celtic Warrior belt against Bradley Pryce. Also featuring on the show will be Lynn Harvey, Niall Kennedy, Bernard Roe, Feargal McCrory, Crank Whitehouse, Eric Donovan, and Connor Coyle.

An opponent for the Ricky Hatton-trained ‘Ginger Ninja’ will be confirmed shortly.

Blaney made his debut at the South Circular Road venue back in June before having two quick-fire dates in England this Autumn.
